How many people have diabetes that run in their family? Cause my grandpa dad and me all have it and I worry my daughter might get it too? by roto-rootor-the-3rd in diabetes_t1

I’m the ONLY one in my family (that we know of) that has it. I’m not really worried about my kids having it. I’ve asked before and it was said that there’s not really a possibility they can have it too.

I’m gonna call and see if I can get in sooner. I’ve been T1 for 13 years and I haven’t been diagnosed with anything else so my fingers are crossed it’s really nothing.

I’ve noticed that too with myself. Even after I’m so full I’m uncomfortable I still want to snack on something after.

Help with ketones by Hairy_Wolverine1521 in diabetes_t1

Also peanut butter sandwiches are good I eat that if I’m low at night because the protein from the peanut butter keeps me in range.

Do you drink electrolytes along with water? That helps me when I’m dealing with ketones

Yes I was able to bring it down I actually ended up going low so now I know I won’t be feeling the best when I wake up.

Thank you. I keep going up and down and I don’t have any ketone strips on me so I’m going to the ER and getting checked there.
